SITES LIKE Viewsbank

YouGov, Panel Champ

Viewsbank is a social forum where you get paid to complete surveys, projects and Mystery Shopping assignments on a range of subjects and industries. In addition to your regular paid work, you can create and vote on Polls, or join the Viewsbank conversation in community Groups.

The Viewsbank panel and website is owned and operated by Consumer Intelligence - an independent research company that has been providing customer and competitor insight since 2003.

Registration Process

Fill out the registration form and within 48 hours you will receive a series of 5 surveys that will narrow down what types of research projects you will be invited to.

Exciting Research Opportunities

Viewsbank offers a variety of ways to earn rewards. Within the registration process, check off which types of studies you are willing to participate in. As a member, don't forget to keep in mind that all projects are first come first serve, so the sooner you confirm your spot the better.

  • Online Surveys: New surveys are available on a weekly basis.
  • Mystery Shopping: May be done online, on the telephone, or in-person.
  • Home Research: Complete easy at home tasks and in return receive a reward.
  • Online Focus Groups: May be done on a group call or in a chat room. Focus groups provide the largest rewards for participation.

Note that assignments come as a first come first served basis, and some assignments, like mystery shopping have very limited availability, so act fast if you gain an invite!

Social Website!

Viewsbank prides themselves in being a "social website", where members are encouraged to interact with one another. Members can vote on polls and join groups with like-minded individuals for debates and discussions. There is also the option to create your own poll, which you can get paid for! Polls that become popular within the first three days of being released will be rewarded with £10. If a poll that you voted on begins to trend, then you will collect 1p. Learn more about polls in the "poll rules" section of the website.

Earn Cash & Prizes

Most of the time when you complete a research project, you will receive a cash payment directly into your account. Some studies offer entries into prize draws for cash or other items. Surveys are usually paid in cash or prize draw entries which appear within your member account, whereas mystery shopping or at home projects are mainly rewarded with direct payment.

Earn Between £15 - £20 a Month!

Payments are calculated on the last day of each month. A minimum of £12 must be accumulated before members can redeem towards a reward. Payment is usually transferred via PayPal.

Any earnings accrued during a month are paid on the second Tuesday of the following month, provided that the threshold has been reached. Any earnings below the threshold amount will be carried over to the following month. You will only be paid for earnings that have accrued during the previous calendar month. Any earnings accrued after the end of the month but before payday will be paid the following month, again provided you are over the £12 threshold.

The Unique Quote Research Project

The Unique Quote Research Project is an ongoing research study conducted by Viewsbank. Earn extra cash by participating in this project, as each time your information is used, you will collect a £5 cash reward.

Eligibility: Open to UK residents only

My genuine favourite

November 1, 2013 by Sean from United Kingdom

I'm a member of several panels and enjoy each of them.
Viewsbank, however, is my favourite.
Why? I honestly feel like the Viewsbank Team are a group of friends as opposed to a faceless panel.
The Viewsbank guys are friendly, chirpy, efficient....
The surveys are generally fairly short - which suits my attention span. There are also mystery shopper tasks - which I love - and they pay well.

Hi Sean,

I'm so sorry it's taken us 7 years to respond to your review, we have only just gained the ability to reply.

Thanks for your kind words, things have probably changed a little since this was written but I hope you are still with us and still enjoying being a member.

Kind Regards,

Brilliant site - I don't know how I stumbled across it but I've been with them for a few years now. I'm never going to set the bank alight with what I earn but it's good fun, safe and a very user-friendly site. I have been lucky to have been chosen to take part in mystery shopper surveys and they have been the icing on the cake. Definitely recommend.

Viewsbank Very Good

October 31, 2013 by John from United Kingdom

I've been with Viewsbank/Consumer Intelligence for a few years and their surveys vary with plenty of small paying surveys with some leading on to larger paying surveys. Overall their surveys are great fun and good to undertake, I would recommend them as they are reliable and honest.

Fast and Honest with a Family feel

October 30, 2013 by Kevin from United Kingdom

I joined Viewsbank over a year ago and whilst other survey sites have fallen by the wayside, Viewsbank remains a part of my daily online surfing. Lots of competitions, discussion boards and most importantly regular paid surveys. Lots of 10/20/30p/50p surveys coupled with £25 shopping quests make sure i am getting regular payments of at least £30 a month, last month was my record, a whopping £117 which included a £75 shopping assignment. The family were taken out for a good meal.Viewsbank is good clean fun and has a good community feel. I'm staying!
